Actually they often are. Its a cash control thing. I've bumped into the permission and the penalty thing a time or two. Its not as uncommon as you may think.

That said is it right in this instance? Hell no. Get the money back.

I think we're finding out the hard way that all these socialist government "bailouts" are not working....competitive businesses don't want the capital because of the onerous rules, regulations, and meddling by incompetent government bureaucrats like Obama and his henchmen.

#1 you forgot higher taxes on cigars!!

Move along...nothing to see here...

The government competing with private industry is the end of the world? If private enterprises can't run a business better than the government, they should be in a world of trouble.

The only reason private industry is panicking is many organization are top heavy with clueless tools on their board of directers making millions upon millions of dollars and do little or nothing for that compensation.

See AIG, Chrysler, GM et al.

If fanatical idiots were airplanes, this place would be an airport.

(No offense, jet.)

I understand the concern over the government being involved with autos, banking and medicine but I think you are crazy if you think the government controls the media in this country.

the handwringing is awsome. I keep expecting howie mandell to show up.

The socialism of the USSA would be funny if it wasn't so frightening!!

DD

No but it looks like you have. If it is just state propaganda why do you watch it?

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean that it’s state propaganda.

DD

No. Own my own business. How about you?

^It was a rhetorical question!! LOL

But since you answered/asked I am also self-employed...and scared to death to see this country rapidly slide into Socialism.

Sometimes tongue-in-cheek stuff is hard to "get" through the internet.

The health care stuff they are talking about does concern and worry me both personally and professionally.

State-run Media...

ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE

Tue Jun 16 2009 08:45:10 ET

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Highlights on the agenda:

ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate.

The Director of Communications at the White House Office of Health Reform is Linda Douglass, who worked as a reporter for ABC News from 1998-2006.
